Article #21583 - BSM 276 BSM: V_ess too low at end of


precharge
Description
Trigger: During pre-charge, voltage doesn't come up to proper levels. End-User Text String: Powertrain Problem.
Service Required. Vehicle Response: Vehicle does not start.

This fault occurs when the precharge circuit within the battery does not ramp up to a voltage level specified by
the Battery Safety Monitor (BSM), (roughly pack voltage) within 500ms of closing the contactors.

Steps to Test
Pull vehicle logs and review the fault occurrence, often the Data Text information that accompanies the
fault will include valuable information regarding battery precharge voltage. If the data text indicates that
the battery (ESS) voltage was 0V, this may indicate a failure internal to the pack. This fault is often
intermittent, if this is the case attempt to duplicate the fault. When the fault is present connect the

Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning (HVAC)

simulator in place of the 400V HVAC controller. Attempt to close contactors.

The fault likely lies in the 400V HVAC controller, Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heater, or A/C
compressor. Inspect each component for physical damage or damaged wiring. Check for contactor closure.

Article #21590 - BSM 283 BSM: Isolation fault


Description
Trigger: Isolation Resistance < 200Kohm. End-User Text String: Debug Only. Vehicle Response: Charge aborted.

It has been found that 2.0 and newer roadster models may be prone to isolation faults in humid environments
due to a plug placed inside the Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning (HVAC) vent tube below the vehicle. The
plug may cause fluid build-up in the Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heater box causing isolation faults.
Inspect the vent tube for blockage or rubber insert plug before proceeding with diagnosis. If blockage is not
found or fault persists, proceed to review the vehicle logs noting motor temperature when the fault occurred. If
the motor temperature was greater than 90C, this is expected behavior.

In 1.5 Roadsters, this is expected behavior if the vehicle has been exposed to water (rain, car wash, etc.).

Steps to Test
If the vehicle is a 2.0 or 2.5, and the alert was not triggered by a temperature that was greater than 90C, or if the
vehicle is a 1.5 and was not exposed to water, perform a high potential testing (HIPOT) of the powertrain. The
procedure for a HIPOT can be found in Service Documents under MEM-11-004 for 2.0 &; 2.5 Roadsters, and
MEM-09-012 for 1.5 Roadsters.

Steps to Fix
This is expected behavior if the HVAC vent tube was blocked or the vehicle was exposed to water. If the HIPOT
test fails, escalate your session for assistance in diagnosing Motor, Motor Cable, or Motor / Trans insulator ring
isolation failures.
Otherwise, pursue possible causes to investigate further.

closing contactors
Description
Trigger: Isolation fault within the ESS is before contactors closed. End-User Text String: Battery Problem. Service
Required. Vehicle Response: Contactors do not close.

Steps to Test
Determine if the fault is still present.
Test and record; isolation resistance, Vbat + , Vbat - , and Vbat. Determine if the isolation resistance value is
less than 28 kilo ohms with contractors open.
Verify that the voltage is not present outside of the battery pack. Attach the HVAC simulator (TPN 6005456)
directly to the battery pack. Using the MTS-2/Linux-based Engineering Tool, command the contactors
closed. Determine if the voltage is still present with the contactors commanded open.

Steps to Fix
If the fault is not currently present, this fault likely indicates an intermittent short internal to the battery
pack. If the resistance value is greater than 28 kilo ohms.
If the voltage is still present with the contactors commanded open, the contactors may have become
welded or other wise stuck closed.
If the voltage is not present with the contactors commanded open, the battery pack requires further
analysis.

In each case listed, it is recommended to

escalate your session for assistance.

If the motor temperature was greater than 90C, this is expected behavior.

In 1.5 Roadsters, this is expected behavior if the vehicle has been exposed to water (rain, car wash, etc.).

Steps to Test
Install the 400V simulator tool in place of the 400V controller and attempt to close contactors, check for expected
isolation values.

If the vehicle is a 2.0 or 2.5, and the alert was not triggered by a temperature that was greater than 90C, or if the
vehicle is a 1.5 and was not exposed to water, perform a high potential testing (HIPOT) of the powertrain. The
procedure for a HIPOT can be found in Service Documents under MEM-11-004 for 2.0 &; 2.5 Roadsters, and
MEM-09-012 for 1.5 Roadsters.

Steps to Fix
If contactors close and isolation value returns to normal with the 400V simulator installed, the issue lies either in
the 400V controller, PTC HVAC box, or the compressor. Pursue possible causes.

This is expected behavior if the HVAC vent tube was blocked or the vehicle was exposed to water. If the HIPOT
test fails, escalate your session for assistance in diagnosing Motor, Motor Cable, or Motor / Trans insulator ring

Article #21669 - CSB 729 Undertemp event during


charge or regen
Description
Trigger: Lowest BMB Temp < 0C. End-User Text String: Powertrain Problem. Restart When Safe. Vehicle Response:
Contactors open immediately.

This fault occurs when one or more battery bricks report(s) temperatures of 0C or less during charge or regen.
Brick temperatures are reported by thermistors mounted to each sheet. False under-temp faults can be triggered
by poor Battery Monitor Board (BMB) to Temperature Voltage Sense Harness (TVSH) connections.

Steps to Test
1. Begin by reviewing the vehicle logs. Determine if this fault occurred in conjunction with Fault Code 2 -
critical sheet undertemp.
2. Review the "data_text(fault)" column accompanying Fault code 2 in the logs. This column will indicate
which thermistor(s) reported the cold temperature. The history tab may also be used in the Battery Monitor
Board User Interface (BMBUI) to view the reported voltage and temperature data from each BMB.
Determine if the temperature reported is realistic in relation to the reported minimum and maximum brick
temperatures from the logs.
3. Determine if the minimum brick temperatures were reported to be below 0C in the vehicle logs when this
fault occurred.
4. Inspect the vehicle cooling system and HVAC pump. If the coolant level and pump pass a visual inspection,
use a refractometer to analyze the coolant mixture.

Steps to Fix
Follow the guidlines for BMB seating/TVSH connector inspection: BMB seating / TVSH connector inspection
Procedure:

Remove BMB cover.


Inspect securing tabs for all BMBs.
If any securing tabs are not properly engaged, take picture (noting BMB position) and proceed to fully
insert BMB until securing tabs are all in proper position.
When all securing tabs are properly engaged, open BMBUI in diagnostic tools using the 4 way CAN
breakout connection point.

Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

Now very gently wiggle the affected BMB(s) individually, giving a minute between moving each BMB.
It is very important not to apply too much pressure when moving the BMB(s), or the connector
terminals in the sheet may be damaged, which requires sheet replacement.
While moving the BMBs around, pay attention to the VDS to see if any faults come up.
If a fault arises, go to the BMBUI and hit the 'Update' tab again, look for any bars on the graphs to drop out
- either temp or voltage.
If a fault arises, note which BMB it is that sets the fault.
Next, remove the affected BMB(s), use the boroscope to carefully inspect the pins in the TVSH connector
on the sheet.
Look for any terminals that look damaged, splayed or improperly inserted.
Take a picture of any terminals that look suspect. Pay attention to how angle of camera to boroscope lens
affects picture quality, and capture best image possible.
At this point contact service support team for consultation

Description
Trigger: Current > 5A and lowest BMB temp <=-17C > 100ms. End-User Text String: Battery too cold to drive.
Vehicle Response: Vehicle stops immediately.

Steps to Test
1. Check the logs, if the event occurred at low ambient temps (<negative 16 to -20C), nothing has failed.
2. Connect the scan tool, compare temperature with other thermistors in sheet.
3. Turn the vehicle off to open the contactors
4. Wait for the car to cool (no PEM or motor fans running)
5. Check current draw reported on IP by placing the key in the ACC position
6. Determine if the current draw is a value not normally seen when the car is idle (less than 10A).

Note: Make sure to turn off all accessories before performing this test (headlights, seat heaters, radio, etc).

Steps to Fix
Advise the user to drive in warmer weather.

If not within 30C, swap the Battery Monitor Board (BMB). If the fault is still present, escalate the session for
Reman.
If the current draw is less than 10A, escalate the session for further assistance to request Reman.

Motor Encoder 1-This fault likely indicates a failed or damaged motor encoder.

Steps to Test

Steps to Fix
If fault is persistent OR has caused a loss of drive; proceed to replace the motor encoder

(Part# 6005225). When replacing the motor encoder, installation of the following electrostatic discharge (ESD)
components is highly recommended, part numbers: 2006461 M3-.5 x14 bolt; 6005224 Nylon Clocking Washer;
and 6005226 ESD Conductor. These components will prevent future damage to the motor encoder as a result of
ESD. Install the components in place of one of the motor encoder mounting nuts nearest the encoder; allow a 0.5
to 1.0mm gap between the encoder wheel and the ESD Conductor. Escalate to Service Support Team for further
assistance if needed.

Steps to Test
Determine if the vehicle was charged with a generator, a long extension cord, charged with poor quality
supply voltage, or experienced a total loss of AC Main power. Poor quality would show in the logs as a
fluctuation or low line voltage.
Charge the vehicle at 70A on known good Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE).
Check the charge port connections for corrosion and clean if necessary. Inspect the Power Electronics
Module (PEM) side of the PEM-Charge Port cable. Inspect, tighten nuts, and clean as necessary.
Compare the line voltage (using a DMM) with PEM line voltage reading (using MTS-2, PEM bus, Live Data).

Steps to Fix
If it's determined that the vehicle was charged with a generator, a long extension cord, charged with poor
quality supply voltage, or experienced a total loss of AC Main power, this is expected behavior, no further
action is necessary.

Trigger: DMC software problem. End-User Text String: Debug Only. Vehicle Response: None.

Steps to Test
Begin by reviewing the vehicle logs.

Steps to Fix
If this fault occurred while the vehicle was on Charge, there may be an issue with the pilot signal.
If this fault occurred during Drive it likely indicates a failed or damaged motor encoder.
If the fault is persistent or has caused a loss of drive; proceed to replace the motor encoder. When
replacing the motor encoder, installation of the following electrostatic discharge (ESD) components is
highly recommended, part numbers: 2006461 M3-.5 x14 bolt; 6005224 Nylon Clocking Washer; and
6005226 ESD Conductor. These components will prevent future damage to the motor encoder as a result
of ESD. Install the components in place of one of the motor encoder mounting nuts nearest the encoder;
allow a 0.5 to 1.0mm gap between the encoder wheel and the ESD Conductor.

Steps to Test
Determine if the vehicle was charged with a generator, a long extension cord, charged with poor quality
supply voltage or experienced a total loss of AC Mains power. Poor quality would show in the logs as a
fluctuation or low line voltage.
Charge the vehicle at 70A on a known good Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE).

Steps to Fix
If the vehicle was charged using a generator, long extension cord, or by a poor quality supply, this is
expected behavior, no further action necessary.
If the 70A charge was successful, troubleshoot the customer's EVSE and pursue possible causes to
investigate further.

Too Large fault
Description
End-User Text String: Powertrain Service Required.

This fault occurs when one or more of the

Pole Current Sensors (PCS) has failed or fallen out of calibration. This fault may also occur as a result of a phase
imbalance developing on one of the phases in the motor or motor cable.

Steps to Test
Begin by inspecting the motor cable to Power Electronics Module (PEM) connections for signs of arching.
If there are no signs of arching found, perform a High Potential Testing (HIPOT) and milli-ohm test of the
motor and motor cable. The procedure for a HIPOT can be found in Service Documents under MEM-11-
004 for 2.0 &; 2.5 Roadsters, and MEM-09-012 for 1.5 Roadsters.
Determine if the motor and motor cable pass all of the tests outlined in the procedures.

Steps to Fix
If the motor and motor cable do not pass all of the tests, replace the component(s) causing the HIPOT or
milli-ohm test to fail.
Test-drive and charge the vehicle to confirm the repair.
If they pass, the PCS has likely failed, no field tests may be performed on this component.
The PEM should be replaced

(1.5-Part# 6003440, 2.0&;2.5 Part# 6005203).

Test-drive and charge vehicle to confirm the repair.

resistance between pins A and B of the FHC81 connector (the HVAC assembly side). Determine whether the
measurement indicates a short, open loop, or a value that would appear to be incorrect. For reference; at
25C expected resistance would be 10k ohms, at 0C resistance would be 32.6k ohms and at 40C resistance
would be 5.3k ohms.
Inspect wiring connections between 12V HVAC controller and the HVAC assembly, particularly FHC50 and
FHC81, for damaged pins, corrosion, shorts, or otherwise faulty or damaged wiring.

Article #22122 - PM 1668 PM: PCS Error warning


Description
End-User Text String: Debug Only. Vehicle Response: None.

PCS_1-This fault occurs when one or more of the PCSs (Pole Current Sensor) has failed or fallen out of calibration.
This fault may also occur as a result of a phase imbalance developing on one of the phases in the motor or motor
cable.

Steps to Test
Begin by inspecting the motor cable to Power Electronics Module (PEM) connections for signs of arching. If no
signs of arching are found, perform a High Potential Testing (HIPOT) and milli-ohm test of the motor and motor
cable, as per MEM-09-012 in Service Documents. Determine if the motor and motor cable pass all tests outlined
in MEM-09-012.

Steps to Fix
If the motor and motor cable do not pass all of the tests, replace the component causing the HIPOT or
milli-ohm test to fail.
If the components pass, The PCS has likely failed. No field tests may be performed on this component.
The PEM should be replaced

(1.5-Part# 6003440, 2.0&;2.5 Part# 6005203). Refer to MEM-10-002 for proper installation for Roadster 2.0.

Test drive and charge vehicle to confirm repair.

Vehicle Response: None.

Steps to Test
If the vehicle being repaired is a federal VIN, it is possible that a Euro Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) unit was
installed.

Check the vehicle logs for multiple occurrences of the fault.

A Power Electronics Module (PEM) BUS CAN communications error may cause fault code 1496. Inspect the PEM
BUS wiring and connections for damage, loose connections, splayed pins, etc.

Steps to Fix
A single occurrence may be the result of a "race" condition in which the Vehicle Display System (VDS)
reports one key state while the Digital Motor Control (DMC) is reporting another (key turned on or off
quickly, etc.), no repair necessary.
Install a Federal spec. RKE unit.
NOTE: If a Federal spec RKE is installed in a Euro VIN, it will disable the vehicle's locking function .
Unlocking the vehicle will still be possible. No fault code will appear in this scenario.
If there have been multiple fault occurrences, and the wiring on the PEM BUS has damage, loose
connections, etc., repair the wiring.
If the wiring is not damaged, or the repair does not clear the fault, escalate your session for assistance.

Article #21520 - VMS 19 Isolation resistance warning


Description
Trigger: <500k threshold unless BSM threw an Iso fault. End-User Text String: Debug Only. Vehicle Response:
None.

It has been found that 2.0 and newer roadster models may be prone to isolation faults in humid environments
due to a plug placed inside the HVAC vent tube below the vehicle. The plug may cause fluid build-up in the
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heater box causing isolation faults. Inspect the vent tube for blockage or
rubber insert plug before proceeding with diagnosis. If blockage is not found or fault persists, proceed to review
the vehicle logs noting motor temperature when the fault occurred. If the motor temperature was greater than
90C, this is expected behavior.

In 1.5 Roadsters, this is expected behavior if the vehicle has been exposed to water (rain, car wash, etc.).

Steps to Test
Use the 400V simulator to confirm or eliminate the source of low isolation to the HVAC system in the front of the
roadster

If the vehicle is a 2.0 or 2.5, and the alert was not triggered by a temperature that was greater than 90C, or if the
vehicle is a 1.5 and was not exposed to water, perform a High Potential Testing (HIPOT) of the powertrain. The
procedure for a HIPOT can be found in Service Documents under MEM-11-004 for 2.0 &; 2.5 Roadsters, and
MEM-09-012 for 1.5 Roadsters.

Steps to Fix
If contactors close and isolation is normal with the 400V simulator installed, the problem lies either with the 400V
controller, the PTC HVAC box, or the compressor. Pursue possible causes.

This is expected behavior if the HVAC vent tube was blocked or the vehicle was exposed to water. If the HIPOT
test fails, escalate your session for assistance in diagnosing Motor, Motor Cable, or Motor / Trans insulator ring
isolation failures.
Otherwise, pursue possible causes to investigate further.

Article #21512 - VMS 6 VMS: APS Failure


Description
This fault occurs when the Auxiliary Power Supply (APS) turns on within 3 seconds of turning off 12 times
consecutively. This fault likely indicates a failing APS.

Trigger: If the Auxillary Power Supply (APS) turns on within 3 seconds of it turning off 12 times in a row, this fault
is thrown. End-User Text String: Battery Problem, Service Required. Vehicle Response: None.

Steps to Test
Load test the APS. This can be done either while the battery is in or out of the vehicle by using the appropriate
instructions below.

The means of loading are simple. The idea is to connect a light load to the APS main output and connect a
computer running BSMUI to the pack for control. With the proper defeats for the interlocks, the APS can be
turned on and the pack will discharge.

Note: this is an UNSUPERVISED discharge which will require constant checking to assure that over
discharge does not occur, which could result in a destroyed battery.

The requirements for this system are as follows. The first list is items any tech should already have. The second is
components specific to this procedure.

A computer that can run LINUX diagnostic tools suite. For more info on creating a bootable USB drive from
which to install these tools see Toolbox Article 23547.
Gridconnect USB-CAN interface device
ESS logic connect cable (TPN 02-000321-00)
**the HVAC simulator box ( TPN 06-002950-00) (**only needed if pack is out of the car)

The following three items are also needed:

12 volt, 300 Watt heater, McMaster part # 17075K71 or equivalent.


**Submersible pump, 120VAC, Grainger part # 1P321, or equivalent. (**if pack is out of the car)
**3/8 inch ID Tubing or hose to connect the pump to the APS coolant manifold. (**if pack is out of the car)
**A 5-10 gallon bucket or can for coolant. (**if pack is out of the car)

If the battery pack is still in the car:

1. Turn OFF the APS via the VDS.

800 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

2. Next, disconnect the main output from the dual binding post as shown below.

3. Then connect the RED heater wire to the APS Main output and wrap it with an insulating tape to avoid any
shorts. (Note the image shows the black wire for clarity, but the RED wire goes to APS main.)

801 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

4. Put the BLACK heater wire onto the main grounding stud at the rear of the vehicle; this will complete the
APS loading circuit.

802 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

803 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

5. Start the BSMUI application, and under the BSM State tab click the APS Main button to turn on the APS.

804 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

6. Then go back to the BSM tab to verify that the APS is on and that the APS Main voltage is between 12.5
and 13.5 volts. Do not leave the load in place and the APS turned on for more than 1 minute!
7. If the APS is running properly the value will be stable. If the APS has a problem, this voltage will drop. Any
value below 12.2 volts is unacceptable and will require APS replacement.

If the battery pack is out of the car:


The out of car set-up is fairly simple, and safe. The following images show the APS main outputs. These cables
shall be connected to the INPUT of the 12 volt heater.

805 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

1. Connect these lugs to the 12V heater inlet:

2. Pull off the rubber covers on the APS output, one at a time and connect to the heater inputs. Even though
the APS outputs only 12 volts, it is capable of driving HUGE current loads, so after making any electrical
connections, be sure to cover them with an insulating tape, such as electrician’s vinyl tape.

806 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

3. The lugs need to be connected to the wires from the heaters using a nut and bolt. Finger tight is good;
there is no need for a torque specification. In this case, as shown in the picture below, a ¼-20 fine thread
screw and nut were used.

807 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

4. Be sure to connect the RED wire from the heater to the RED banded APS cable, and the BLACK wire from
the heater to the BLACK wire from the APS.
5. Be sure that the switch on the 12 volt heater is set to the middle position, “Off”.

808 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

6. Put the heater on the floor, or on a cart next to the battery, but do not put the heater on the case.

7. After the lugs are connected, remember to wrap the connections with electrician’s tape.
8. Once the heater is secure, move to the submersible fluid pump.

809 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

Pump kit with


barb fittings and clamps

You will need to obtain about 2-3 feet (1 meter) of 3/8 ID tubing (8mm tubing). This tubing will go between
the pump and the APS coolant inlet.

810 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

If the kit is new, put the ¼ NPT-to-3/8” barb fitting onto the pump outlet using a short piece of Teflon (PTFE)

tape. Placing
the Teflon tape on the outlet.

811 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

Barb fitting on
the pump.

Next, push the tubing onto the barb fitting and secure with one of the included hose clamps.
Then put the 3/8 to ¼ adapter onto the other end and secure with the other hose clamp. The pump outlet
hose with the adapter on it will be connected to the shorter of the two APS coolant tubes. The other tube will
serve as the outlet for the coolant.

812 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

Next, you will need to fill a 5 to 10 gallon bucket with coolant, coolant and distilled water mixed to 50:50 or
just distilled water. This bucket will serve as the reservoir for cooling the APS as you discharge the pack through
the heater.
Lower the pump into the reservoir, and be sure that the power cord and the outlet tube are coming straight
up, out of the tank. Let the longer APS coolant tube hang back into the tank, as shown below.

813 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

After the pump and load have been set up, you will need to connect the HVAC simulator.

HVAC simulator

Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

HVAC simulator
installed in place

This device goes onto the HVAC outlet of the pack and contains the 65 Ohm End-Of-Line resistor that is needed
in order to turn on the APS. Connect as shown above.

Then connect your laptop PC running LINUX and the PERL diagnostic suite via the ESS logic connector, the
USB-CAN adapter and the ESS Logic connect cable.

815 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

ESS logic connect cable

816 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

Gridconnect USB-CAN adapter

Insert the Service Disconnect plug in the pump. It requires 120 VAC and will mate to the standard Edison
outlet in North America. Fluid should start coming out of the APS fluid outlet pipe and go back into the reservoir.
After you have verified that fluid is circulating, turn on the heater by pushing the switch to the right position.
The APS is now set up for loading.

817 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

Start the BSMUI application, and under the BSM State tab click the APS Main button to turn on the APS.

818 / 835
Roadster Alert Articles.md 6/10/2021

Then go back to the BSM tab to verify that the APS is on and that the APS Main voltage is between 12.5 and
13.5 volts.
If the APS is running properly the value will be stable. If the APS has a problem, this voltage will drop. Any
value below 12.2 volts is unacceptable and will require APS replacement.

Steps to Fix
1. If the APS fails the load test described above, the battery will have to be replaced.
2. Send pack to Fremont for MRB Reman.
